How do psychology graduate schools look at GPAs from two different undergrad schools?

Posted by admin
cd76 asked:


I transferred to another college with 3 semesters left for my undergrad in psychology. My GPA at my current school is 3.9, but my old one was more like 3.3. Do graduate schools weigh the current school higher, average the GPAs, or what?

Thanks!

      They will look at both and they all have different formulas. However, because you did over 3.0 in both schools you should be fine. Most likely they would do ((3.9 x 3) + (3.3 x 5))/8.

      That is, give proportional weighing to your GPA.
